Winner of five Academy Awards, Martin Scorsese's 2004 saga focuses on Howard Hughes's (Leonardo DiCaprio) activities from the mid 1920s through the 40s, the most prolific period of the industrialist, movie producer, and aeronautical innovator's life. It was a time of aviation breakthroughs and a series of turbulent love affairs, with Ava Gardner (Kate Beckinsale), Jean Harlow (Gwen Stefani), and most memorably Katharine Hepburn (in an Oscar-winning performance by Cate Blanchett). A second DVD includes almost three hours of features including a 43-minute documentary from the History Channel and a panel discussion on obsessive-compulsive disorder with Scorsese and DiCaprio.
